The science of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases of what is known as
pneumotony, that is to say, the removal OF
diseased portions of the lungs in cases OF
consumption. While, however, this delicate
operation has sometimes been successfully
performed, the risks attending it are Sc
great, and the chances of recovery so slight
that it is seldom resorted to. The safest
plan in consumptive cases is to use DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
will always cure the disease in its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages OF
the terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.

MUTILATED MONEY.
The System of Redemption Adopted by the
L. S. Treasury Department.


I am often asked whether this or that
piece of mutilated money is redeemable.
Il is safe to say, unless the money 5
identity is entirely gone, that it is re-
deemable. In fact, one may say that
money in the shape of ashes can be re-
stored. 1t is fact that after the Chi
cago fire ashes were redeemed. 1t came
about in this way: 1t is customary in
banks to do money up in packages, say
of $4,000 each, and in the big fire of
course hundreds and hundreds of these
packages were reduced to ashes. But
the shape of the package remained,
and wherever the package could be
sent on to Washington without crumbl-
ing the ashes, the money was sure to be
replaced. 1t was done by nimble-fng-
cred women in the Treasury Depart
ment, whose trained touch and sight
are wonderfully acute. 1t is well known
that the ashes of newspaper, if damp
ened, will show traces of the printing.
So was it with the bills. These women
would moisten the package of appar-
entity useless ashes, and to their expert
enced eye the number and character of
the bill would ut once appear as if they
had touched it with a magic wand. So
thousands and thousands of dollars
We're redeemed by these patient women.
A friend of mine, country merchant,
afraid of banks, placed large sum of
money in bills in stone jar on a shelf
in his store, where he thought it would
be quite safe. When he went to look at
it one day some time after, it was a
mass of fragments. Mice had got into
the jar and chewed the bills into the
minutest parts. Then they had mixed
them all up, and altogether it was a
fearful looking mess. He sent cigar
box full of it to me. / forwarded it to
Washington, and what do you think
Out of the 81, 145 originally in the pile,
little over 81, 900 was redeemed, the
parts beyond recall being only the
mere fibers of the bills. So the MAJ
lost only 800 by his foolishness. The
reclamation of such money is done en-
tirely by women, whose patience es
pecially fits them for the monotonous
work. Bank President LaW, in 50.

HUMM:No BIRDS NESTS.
Remarkably Delicate, CunniDgIy Made and
CharmingIy Cory Affairs.

Cozily nestled in the very tiniest little
nest, so soft and elastic that even her
delicate plumage is unruflled by con-
tact with its moss-covered sides, we
find our humming- bird. High on the
gnarled and twisted branch of a dog
wood she has built this fairy home; and
therein. with the overhanging leaves
for canopy, the little sylph is brood
ing. How shall l describe the cunning
little structure? A few weeks ago the
building was commenced, but on such
a small scall that the foundation was
laid ere the site was discovered by US.
Soft puffs from the blossoms of oak and
chestnut, bits of the softest brown
fungus and scraps of gray moses that
grow in secret places known only to
these little fairies, were worked into
the walls, and gradually the little cup
like house approached completion.
Little flakes of lichen and bard, veri-
table diminutive clapboards, were next
added, and the task was finished. There
it rests, its messy coverings harmonic
ing so well with the tree bark as to con-
ceal it from all but the closest observer,
and often, though knowing its location
so well, have missed it for an instant,
so cunninglY is it placed. A dead twig
projects from the branch few inches
to one side, and here the little wood
sprites frequently perch. There is the
male now, his ruby throat all ablaze as
sunbeam covers him for an instant
with gold.
And now, as he snuggles close beside
his mate he is evidently telling her
where her breakfast is waiting in the
trumpet flower he tapped for her last
night and which is half-Glled with
nectar this morning, accumulated drop
by drop during the cool hours of dark
ness. Like q flash she is off, and be
takes her place to keep the chill from
the tiny eggs. These frail little crea-
lures have gradually become accus-
toned to my presence. At first they
were nervous, and would dart down to
within five or six feet of me, and there,
poised on its whirring wings, closely
inspect the intruder, utttcring The while
sundry peeps and curious little cries.
Now that they are convinced that no
harm is intended, they do not even
leave the nest at my approach. What
adreamlife is theirs! gliding in zigzag
lines over the flower beds, now sus-
pended almost motionless over a lily
bloom, now racing with humble bee for
honeyed prize, or dashing at the spar
rows and robins, and speedily putting
them to flight by the fury of their onset.
What they do or where they go when it
storms do not know, but at the first
returning CLEAN of sunshine they are
back again with the rapidity of thought,
slipping the raindrops from the flowers.
And when bedtime comes, what Won
derful stories of the sunlight the little
things must tell each other, as cuddling
close up there in the dark, they listen
to the coon coon! coon! coon! of the
insects, and watch the freAies guiding
the moths among the trees by the light
of their tOrches!-F'oreSt and Stream.

EQUINE INTELLIGENCE.
An Old Jockey Claims That Such a Thing
Does Not Exist.


Does Not Exist.
There is, 1 think, a generally current
opinion among civilized mankind that
the horse is an intelligent animal. As
far back as I can remember l have
always received this impression, and
loving the noble brute as do, have
always been content to give it passive
credence. l was induced to recon-
slider the subject lately by the re-
marks Of no less an oracle than
retired horse jockey of some
note in his day. My sporting
friend pooh-poohs the idea of
equine intelligence, and asserts that
the average horses looks utterly belle
him in this particular "Why," said
he, II can't understand where you got
such a notion. Intelligence of horses!
It's all bosh! A horse knows when he
is well treated. and remembers q kind
ness, although he is not equal to the
elephant in memory, but there his
boosted intelligence stops. So far as
memory goes he really has none to
speak of. If he has favorite trick or
propensity for getting into mischief. he
will do so again and again, and in
some cases no amount of punishment
will teach him better Instances!
could give you scores. Take any
horse that has the trick of entangling
himself in his halter. He will nearly
strange himself to-day and forget all
about it and do the same thing to-mor-
row if you don't watch him. l have
tended the same horses for years, aye,
and treated them well too, and never
felt safe from a sudden snap or toe
crunch that has cost me many q mo-
ment of pain. Intelligence of horses,
indeed The horse in the hands of
man is merely brute with the full
average of brute stupidity. He has
some good qualities that seem to over
shadow this one, l admit, and is a
noble-looking animal, but if you come
to me and try to prove that he possesses
the intelligence of a well bred dog, for
example, l will soon show you the other
side of the case. "-Cbicago Journal. L

PRESERVING FRUITS.
a Few Hints on an Interesting and Timely
Household Topic.

ACplts
Most people understand the modes of
preserving fruits, so q few hints only
need be given on this subject. Most
people like to preserve their fruits by
the cheapest method; but unless the
sugar is of the best, and used in con-
siderable quantity, the success is I'M
certain. Too much sugar destroys the
sub-acid taste, SO agreeable in many
fruits. The room where fruit is stored
should be dry and well aired, but
should not admit the sun. Some fruits
may he preserved in a succulent state
by being kept in water without boiling;
this succeeds with the smaller kind of
apples. Baking apples and pears may
be preserved by slicing them about the
thickness of one-sixth of an inch, and
drying them in the sun or slow oven.
Fruit gathered for winter store should
not be bruised or have the skin broken;
nor should it be knocked or shaken 90
the branches; it should be gathered on
a fine day, when most likely to be dry.
The finer and larger kinds of apples
SlOuul llOG DC dllOhtu "
touch each other in the store-room.
Lemons should be purchased in the
summer and suspended in nets for use
at the time when they are dear.
Oranges may be preserved q long time
by wrapping them singly in paper,
packing'them in dry sand or jars, and
keeping them in an equal temperature.
Pineapples are kept 2 considerable time
by twisting out their crowns; these be-
ing very ornamental, are generally
allowed to remain. but in time they de-
stroy all the juice of the fruit by living
upon it. White and red currants, april
cots cherries. raspberries, plums,
peaches, mulberries can be easily
preserved by putting the fruit into
strong wide-mouthed bottles, corked
very securely and luted over with q
cement of lime and soft cheese, spread
out on linen, and bound down with
wire. The bottles are enclosed separ-
ately in canvas bags, and put in a ket-
tie of water, heated to boiling point.
They are thus kept until the fruit is as
it were boiled in its own juice; they are
left to cool, and shoald be examined
before being put away for store, to see
if the bottles are securely fastened
